Problem: Serializing with <NonSerialized>

Does this attribute really work?
I'm trying to "deep" serialize one of my objects which has a member variable
pointing to a Form object. I don't want to serialize this form (and I know
that I can't do this anyway because the Form class is not marked as
Serializable). I try marking this member variable with the <NonSerialized>
attribute, but the BinaryFormatter seems to be ignoring this attribute; It
throws an exeption "Class frmReport {some info about the class here} can not
be serialized, because it is not marked as Serializable"
Is there any other way to prevent the serialization of a member variable
that I don't know?
Thanx everyone.

Yes it really does :)

Check if the form isn't refered to via another route. Also, are you
implementing ISerializable on the class?
